LLVM 20 split out what used to be called b16b16 and correspond to aarch64
FEAT_SVE_B16B16 into sve-b16b16 and sme-b16b16.
Add sme-b16b16 as an explicit feature and update the codegen accordingly.
Add SME aarch64 features already supported by LLVM and Linux.
This commit adds compiler support for the following features:
- FEAT_SME
- FEAT_SME_F16F16
- FEAT_SME_F64F64
- FEAT_SME_F8F16
- FEAT_SME_F8F32
- FEAT_SME_FA64
- FEAT_SME_I16I64
- FEAT_SME_LUTv2
- FEAT_SME2
- FEAT_SME2p1
- FEAT_SSVE_FP8DOT2
- FEAT_SSVE_FP8DOT4
- FEAT_SSVE_FP8FMA
Add various aarch64 features already supported by LLVM and Linux.
The features are marked as unstable using a newly added symbol, i.e.
aarch64_unstable_target_feature.
Additionally include some comment fixes to ensure consistency of
feature names with the Arm ARM and support for architecture version
target features up to v9.5a.

Arm's FEAT_FP and Feat_AdvSIMD describe the same thing on AArch64:
The Neon unit, which handles both floating point and SIMD instructions.
Moreover, a configuration for AArch64 must include both or neither.
Arm says "entirely proprietary" toolchains may omit floating point:
https://developer.arm.com/documentation/102374/0101/Data-processing---floating-point
In the Programmer's Guide for Armv8-A, Arm says AArch64 can have
both FP and Neon or neither in custom implementations:
https://developer.arm.com/documentation/den0024/a/AArch64-Floating-point-and-NEON
In "Bare metal boot code for Armv8-A", enabling Neon and FP
is just disabling the same trap flag:
https://developer.arm.com/documentation/dai0527/a
In an unlikely future where "Neon and FP" become unrelated,
we can add "[+-]fp" as its own feature flag.
Until then, we can simplify programming with Rust on AArch64 by
folding both into "[+-]neon", which is valid as it supersets both.
"[+-]neon" is retained for niche uses such as firmware, kernels,
"I just hate floats", and so on.
Updated the added documentation in llvm_util.rs to note which copies of LLVM need to be inspected.
Removed avx512bf16 and avx512vp2intersect because they are unsupported before LLVM 9 with the build with external LLVM 8 being supported
Re-introduced detection testing previously removed for un-requestable features tsc and mmx
`movbe` seems to not be a run-time detectable feature on x86.
It has thus been removed from the list.
It was only commented out to ease comparison against the full list.
This PR both adds in-source documentation on what to look out for
when adding a new (X86) feature set and adds all that are detectable at run-time in Rust stable
as of 1.27.0.
This should only enable the use of the corresponding LLVM intrinsics.
Actual intrinsics need to be added separately in rust-lang/stdarch.
It also re-orders the run-time-detect test statements to be more consistent
with the actual list of intrinsics whitelisted and removes underscores not present
in the actual names (which might be mistaken as being part of the name)
